Nashville-based Teri Bracken records under the name Brontë Fall. The literature-loving artist has a great new album called Not Done Yet – a collection that’s reminiscent of mood-masters Rita Coolidge and Bonnie Raitt. Bracken’s “Face The Night” uses real horns to create a hypnotic feel, just like those acclaimed artists occasionally did.
“This song is a 2020 baby,” says Bracken. “I wrote it with my friend Katie Pederson in the late summer. We were both feeling the weight of that year, from tornadoes to pandemics and city riots to my father’s battle with cancer. It was such a heavy time. During the hustle and bustle of the day, it’s easy to forget the heaviness. It isn’t until the evening comes that all the dust and sadness begins to settle. And it can make for a pretty restless night of sleep. In truth, through these very difficult years (with losing my dad), I feel like sleeping has been the hardest part.”
Another standout on the new album is “Woman Like Me”, which offers more honesty and real vulnerability than anything I’ve heard on either the country or pop charts in ages. Make no mistake: Brontë Fall songs have the enduring quality of Brontë sisters’ novels.
